Lori Whitlock: New Sizzix Dies

Hi Everyone! Today I have a fun 4th of July Party set I created using Lori's Whitlock's new Sizzix Dies! Take a peek...

I started with the new Hello Doily Sizzix Thinlets Set to make my banner. I simply layered two of the doilies and folded them over a piece of twine to create the banner. It would be so cute in a doorway or along a table edge!

Next I set together to make some fun serving items. I used the oh so versatile Mix and Match Flowers Thinlets to decorate some serving items including the napkin holder, the bucket and Straw...

The label on the milk bottle is from the new Perfect Labels Thinlets Set, I thought it would be good to let folks label their drinks to keep the bottles from getting mixed up! The butterflies on both the bottle and the bucket can be found in the Butterfly Lantern Thinlets Set. I think this might be my favorite set! Check out the adorable little lantern you can make using it!

You can fit a tiny electronic tea light into the lantern, to light up your night time table! That's it for me today, make sure to check out all of Lori's Sizzix Dies over on the Sizzix Website here. You won't be disappointed!

Papers Used:

Echo Park Pinstripes

Doodlebug Design: Doodlebug & Pagemaps Team-up!

Hi Everyone!  Today I have  a fun layout based on a fabulous sketch by Becky Fleck over at PageMaps!  The members of the Doodlebug Design Team were asked to be guest designers for the July PageMaps Newsletter... this was right up my alley, Becky's sketches are a favorite!  Here's the sketch she sent...

 

And here's my take... I used papers from the new SunKissed Collection and some Petite Prints as well...

 

In place of the tag on the left, I used a Doodlebug Tangerine Doily.

Otherwise I kept pretty much to the sketch with title and embellishment placement.  I love how it all came together!

 

 Be sure to check the Doodlebug Design Blog to see more Doodlebug & PageMaps inspiration from the Design Team!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Doodlebug Design: Doodlebug & Sizzix

Hi Everyone!  Today I have  a fun layout I created featuring Doodlebug Dies & a Textured Impressions Embossing folder created by Sizzix!  Take a peek...

 

 

I started with the Eyelet Lace and Scallops Decorative Strip Sizzlet Die to frame the main part of my layout.  It's just like the border stickers you find on some of the Doodlebug Fancy Frills!

 

 

I used the Tiny Flowers Embossing Folder to create some textured mats for my photo. I love the dimension the mats add!  They also coordinate perfectly with the Darling Daisies Paper from the Easter Parade Collection!

I finished off my layout using the flower dies from both the Flower, Rainbow & Sun and the Cloud, Flower, Rain & Umbrella Thinlits sets as well as the tag from the Notebook, Tag & Ticket Dies & Stamps set for my journaling.  I used papers from the Petite Prints Collection and some Glitter Sprinkles for the flowers.  I love how everything coordinates perfectly!  Make sure to stop by both the Doodlebug Blog and the Sizzix Blog for more inspiration and see how you can win some great prizes!  Thanks for stopping by!
